Green Pasture - Blue Ice™ Fermented Cod Liver Oil – 3 x 120 caps.

Why is fermentation necessary?

The cod liver oil products by Green Pasture have been shown to contain a variety of powerful antioxidants (Source: MDPI), and fermenting them is a necessary step in forming these antioxidants (Source: NCBI)

Naturally fermented

Cod liver oil is frequently created using an industrial process that removes all native vitamins, leaving a thoroughly processed finished product. After then, synthetic vitamins are introduced to compensate for the loss of natural vitamins.

Uncompromising, traditional production methods

Green Pasture is a cod liver oil company run by a family. The firm specializes in pre-industrial-revolutionary manufacturing techniques. The end result is a pure product made entirely of natural nutrients. Cod liver oil is made by fermenting fish livers, which can take up to a year. According to them, Green Pasture is the only enterprise that follows this old practice. 

Research-based Benefits of Omega-3

Raw material for anti-inflammatory molecules

Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) are precursors to the formation of anti-inflammatory chemicals known as eicosanoids, as previously stated. (Source: NCBI). Anti-inflammatory chemicals are essential in the body to protect against swelling, tissue damage, and other oxidative stress-related reactions.

Cognitive ability

Omega-3 fatty acids have a lot of evidence in their favor regarding cognitive benefits. Some studies have indicated that frequent supplementation can protect people from cognitive decline: higher DHA levels are associated with better performance on nonverbal reasoning tests, mental flexibility, working memory, and vocabulary.

Muscle maintenance

Omega-3 fatty acids enhance protein synthesis, building or synthesizing new muscle tissue. One study showed the anabolic properties of algae oil in young and middle-aged adults. (Source: NCBI)

In addition, it has also been shown that supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the onset of delayed muscle soreness. (Source: NCBI) This can help you recover faster and get right back into the gym!

Mood & anxiety

Another well-founded role of essential omega-3 fatty acids is their impact on mood enhancement (Source: NCBI) and reducing anxiety. (Source: NCBI) This study showed that supplementing with omega-3 had anxiolytic effects on the body.
